Background: Our study analysed 46 articles on computer-aided translation (CAT) and its educational uses. We explored two main areas: CAT technologies in learning and teaching, and the research methodologies of these studies. Objectives: Our review covered the types of CAT technologies used, their applications in different learning settings,…

Aim/Purpose: This paper explores the potential value of critical thinking in computer science education and discusses strategies for its integration across the curriculum. Background: As technology rapidly evolves and becomes increasingly integrated into society, there is a growing need for computer science graduates who can think critically about…

In this article, we give an overview of translational educational neuroscience (mind, brain, and education) in the United Kingdom. We consider the state of "translation," describing respectively the state of the dialogue between researchers and educators, the state of evaluation of approaches to improve educational outcomes, and the…

This study describes the 4-year experience of a dental school in implementing web-based e-portfolios for competency assessment and professional development. We discuss our adaptable strategies and the lessons learned, hoping to contribute to the literature and offer guidance to other institutions considering the implementation of e-portfolios.

More and more teachers create video explanations for their instruction. Whether or not they are effective for learning depends on the videos' instructional quality. Reliable measures to assess the quality of video explanations, however, are still rare, especially for videos created by (preservice) teachers. We developed such a measure in a…

Calls to improve relationships between education research and practice abound, among them efforts to help researchers work in partnership with and communicate more effectively with policy and practice audiences. Recognizing this need, the U.S. National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine have emphasized the importance of integrating…

Gamified flipped classroom (GFC) is becoming more and more popular. Is it more effective than traditional flipped learning? This meta-analysis explores the effects of GFC on students' learning based on 17 high-quality experimental articles. The results suggest that GFC has an upper-medium positive effect on students' learning (SMD = 0.769, p <…

As Machine Learning (ML) becomes increasingly integrated into our daily lives, it is essential to teach ML to young people from an early age including also students from a low socioeconomic status (SES) background. Yet, despite emerging initiatives for ML instruction in K-12, there is limited information available on the learning of students from…

Entrepreneurship education is pivotal in augmenting entrepreneurial propensity among students in higher vocational institutions, facilitating the emergence of tangible innovative and entrepreneurial activities. However, research on the effects of various entrepreneurial education models on students' entrepreneurial intentions is limited. This…

"Teacher talk" is one of the key instructional components in English language teaching classrooms. This study used reflective practice and stimulated recall to investigate teacher beliefs and practices about teacher talk. Data came from two participants who teach English as a second language (ESL) courses at a private university in the…

Technology in the classroom can facilitate learning, but little is known about how the motivational climate set by teachers shapes its impacts on students. Informed by self-determination theory, the current study explored technology use in English language classrooms to understand how autonomy-supportive and structured teaching styles influenced…

Purpose: This study aims to understand and analyze the aspects influencing students' attitudes and behavior toward the use of metaverse in education. The metaverse is currently viewed as technology with immense prospects. However, the practice of the metaverse for educational motives is rarely deliberated. Design/methodology/approach: To assess…

This article explores three questions developed to be central to the creation and implementation of an effective classroom warm-up: Does it help jumpstart students' use of German? Can it capture students' attention? And does it encourage building rapport through providing opportunities for personal expression or relevance? Based on my experience…

Historically, minority students have been overrepresented in special education programming in the United States (Fletcher, 2014; Wright & Wright, 2021). This study describes how several external historical, theoretical, and practical factors beyond academic challenges impact special education qualification rates for minority students compared…
